In the modern world of today, it is evident to see how globalisation has "made the world smaller" and the different benefits that have come from that. Now people can enjoy American strawberries with their Chinese soymilk and Kellog's bran flakes while they watch the morning news discussing how the Chinese GDP is affecting trade structures and political regulations. However, while we see the benefits in our own lives, how are children benefiting from this environment? They are able to benefit on a different level, by having the possibility to learn how to interact with other cultures and races more appropriately. Additionally they then learn more about their own heritage, and gain confidence in their own abilities and specialties. Not to mention that through this understanding and knowledge gain, children will be able to access various future opportunities that will emerge as globalisation continues to expand. Yew Chung International School of Beijing helps children operate and succeed in this globalising world, allowing children to receive the maximum benefits possible.
